My primary experience with The National Market flea market is actually as a vendor. I've rented a…read morebooth for a day here twice now on separate weekends. I used my booth to sell old personal items that one would typically expect to find at a local yard sale. Think grandma's old stuff that's just been collecting dust in the attic or in storage. People visiting this flea market are primarily looking for the best possible deals and the cheapest possible prices.
